Meini Hirion (Druid's Circle)

Reviewed By Cofiwch57

As a local resident this is an ancient place of sanctuary and historical significance. Like many preserved megalithic spots here, it is not a national tourist destination, and should be respected as such. Use an ordnance survey map rather than Google, looking at a proper map will help you see the significance of the area. Don't expect a red carpet for parking - the lane and jubilee pillars should be kept clear for the farmer and emergency services due to access restrictions on the steep bend. If you want to visit this place then it is advisable to park by the library and walk up via the fisheries. This area is full of wildlife and you must remember to pick up your litter. The ground gets boggy in places. If you're a keen hiker then this is an easy walk. If you have dodgy knees and expect signs and paths then stick to the beach. Remember that the weather closes in rapidly between the mountains and the sea so be prepared for wind and rain. Although some days you can be blessed with complete calm and sunshine with a panoramic views. Remember Wales is not a theme park and leave it as you found it.

Wiston Castle

Reviewed By 923Dan - Swindon, United Kingdom

Another day, another free CADW castle to visit in Pembrokeshire with the kids. A little tricky to find on the edge of the village, but parked up next to a CADW van (one of their property managers doing their inspections), that gave a hint, and we were right across the road from the entrance. Stunning Motte and Bailey Castle Ruins - well maintained and preserved by CADW. The steps up to the castle have no handrail, so please take care. Great views north to the Preseli Hills. Well doone CADW.

Din Lligwy

Reviewed By Pasmonauta - Bognor Regis, United Kingdom

We spent 2 days exploring this beautiful and magical area and loved everything. The farming settlement at the time of the Roman occupation was incredibly well kept and one could easily imagine life there as it was then. Superb!
